I was compelled to respond to this YouTube video posted by a trainer to Hollywood stars for its suspicious content. This is a promotional video for this guy's business. I get it—and I don't have any problem with that, with earnest self promotion to keep his career expanding. However I think a lot has been left out or glossed over here, as physically unaccomplished actors turning into superheroes overnight with such ease fails the litmus test.
Speaking as a Personal Trainer in Hollywood for over two decades, I am skeptical that Bradley Cooper, as just one example in this video, who has stated he did not engage in any challenging ongoing exercise routine previously, was brought to such a high level of strength and fitness in less than 12 weeks—and all without injury as claimed.
Even with an assist via legitimate physician-prescribed and closely monitored testosterone or anabolic steroid administration, such a feat in my experience would be well above and beyond extraordinary. As my readers know, I am a major proponent of physician-prescribed and monitored HRT and anabolic steroid application, as I am of any monitored physician-prescribed pharmaceutical or treatment deemed to be individually beneficial and warranted.
The workouts as described here would be physically battering and depleting even for someone in my condition, so to believe that all these inexperienced actors (who in this vid are unrealistically portrayed by super-experienced fitness models in extraordinary condition) accomplished what is claimed, and in such an abbreviated time period...well...I don't buy it.
